Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up everybody Yanis Papas here from the Yanis Papas Hour the Yanis Papas Hour is named after Yanis Papas. It's eponymous It's an eponymous title. Welcome to the show everyone. Sorry we missed last week I had to go to Disney World with my family and apply for government assistance after the amount that I paid to take some females to the princess world to the happiest place on earth which is not happy for my bank account it's a very sad day for my checking account it's so expensive also my
Starting point is 00:00:38 stomach I think I got worms the food is horrendous. The sights are awful. It's a little bit of a downer to look at the people and go, whoa, this is the drain pool of America. Do you know what it is? You know the drain in a shower? It collects, well, Disney World is a drain on America that just collects all the oversized circle people of America and they descend onto Orlando Florida with their mini ears and their socks and sandals and their dad security shirts that say princess security or the most expensive day ever that is the true funny one. And they descend on there and they just give each other colds
Starting point is 00:01:28 and they chew on frozen pretzels and they get on rides that they can't fit on with their daughters. So their daughter's all smushed into the corner to go see Elsa, who's really undocumented Mexican hiding from ice. A great place to hide from ice is inside of Minnie. So I'm sorry we missed that week, but I'll tell you what,
Starting point is 00:01:52 I tell you who's not going on a smoke break for these next four years. It's whatever undocumented Mexicans are in Daffy Duck costumes. They ain't taking those heads off for nothing. Those mascots are staying in costume They're sleeping in them. They're in disguise. I'll tell you right now What a week of events
Starting point is 00:02:15 We're living in a dodge world. It's not dodge like a rock. I think that's not the right car either Anyway, what's the expression for dodge? Whatever it is by this American cards an American car, right dodge, but it's not the right car either. Anyway, what's the expression for Dodge? Whatever it is, buy this American car. It's an American car, right, Dodge? But it's not Dodge, it's Doge. But it is being headed up by a guy who makes cars. And we don't know, does he have security clearance? Does he not? Is he a government official?
Starting point is 00:02:37 Has he been sworn in? What's his title? He's just, he's just President Trump's right-hand billionaire and he is getting all into USAID's finances and they're locking out employees, they're getting into the database and they're trying to find out where all this money's going and a lot of people are saying this is bad,
Starting point is 00:02:57 this is dictatorial, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad. America sends all this money to prop up its influence around the world and if we remove it, then our adversaries will come in, and they'll take over. So that's their argument. And then the rights going on. I think the right is just saying one thing, it's run by lunatics. That's what Trump said it's run by lunatics. So basically, they're on a mission to gut all funding for DEI.
Starting point is 00:03:25 And they're saying USAID has got a lot of DEI in there. It's a DEI, they're DEI hunters. Do you remember the movie by our friend, Quentin Tarantino, right? The Nazi hunters, the Jew brigade. What was that one called? The Jew brigade. What was it called?
Starting point is 00:03:44 That movie? The Nazi guy. Inglourious Bastards. These are the DEI hunters. It's a group of white men going after DEI, the white man's enemy, just like the Jew brigade was going after the Nazis. So we're going to talk about that
Starting point is 00:04:07 special brigade brigade that's in power right now. We're going to talk about the Panic! Mock Canal. We're going to talk about Guantanamo Bay. We're going to talk about Beyonce. We're going to talk about Biden's new talent agency signing. I think he was signed by CAA. And we're going to talk about why. So stay tuned and listen in and don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You just gotta listen to a quick fun rap song. ["Done Is Bobbers"] When you all tucked up in the day been long and the news online going on and on what's right and wrong and there's something up now here comes a great kid you know you can trust from the true koozoo to the news and cameras to the biggest news and that's Kanye and his um his girlfriend who curiously looks a lot like his previous wife same build same ambiguous ethnicity and is she okay that's what we want to know her name is
Starting point is 00:05:17 Bianca sensor right so I guess she's Italian or whatever and was he invited to the Grammys? when you walk the red carpet, I mean walk the red carpet and She forgot her clothes I Guess he designed that dress for her and the dress was just a see-through dress At this point. I mean it's like we get it. We see you Kanye. We understand we know We get it Apparently she didn't want to wear the dress. She wanted to wear something else
Starting point is 00:05:51 He admitted she would have rather wear something else which gives us clues that she's not in charge You know He's making uh He's grabbing control of the wheel He's like a coach in the NBA who's losing his authority to multi-million dollar brats who know that they can just demand the trade because free agency rules the day. And what I mean by that is this chick's trying to have free agency and he's saying, no, you're my sex slave.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I don't know what control he has over her, but I think it has something to do with Her mental illness and his this is a trauma bond right here. This is a trauma bond relationship I think she blew him on a boat in the Netherlands or whatever remember that and now she's showing up but naked showing her whole body off and It's very fun for a guy who's got a family to show up with his date looking like this. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what to say except whatever Jew virus that they put in his brain.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Because you know that's what they did. They gave the kid bipolar 2. Somehow they created some sort of nano robot to get into his head and create the bipolar 2. And they did something to this broad. She's like the Manchurian candidate. She's just showing up, yes I'll wear this. He wanted to make a statement. He wanted, you know, it's just, this is when know that you know, you can you fashion has jumped the shark I mean when you get to no clothes being clothes, I think We've got to go. We got to go back to corduroy's we got to go back to something
Starting point is 00:07:36 Maybe you know candy corn shoes and other people's hair Maybe it's time we go back to the Victorian era. But we're at the point where for a while, remember, he just wasn't wearing shoes like his he had like some sort of sock shoe. And that was after he created those $900 people tires that people were buying. It just looked like burned tires. It was so ugly. Well, people were insisting they were great. But it just looked like the bottom of a mascot outfit. They just look they look horrible. They were pointy, look like burned rubber. And then he went with no shoes. And now he's got it made a dress for her that is not a dress. It's completely see through. So she showed up naked, which
Starting point is 00:08:15 was great. So, you know, is it performance art? This is where we get to this point. I don't know. You tell me. Justin Pollock looks actually does look great over a couch so that breakdown in that movement in art I can see as a Natural progression from form to formless or whatever, but then it got ridiculous So with fashion is this I mean because maybe he's going you know what this fashion is gonna be pixelated Digitally right so he's thinking on like another level so he's like this is to be pixelated digitally, right? So he's thinking on like another level. So he's like, this is actually like pixelated. But in real life, you can just see my girlfriend's fat tits.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Everyone's just looking at her fat tits. Or is this like an opposite of Islam statement? Like, what is he going for? Is this a protest against jobs? What's going on? The chick is fucking naked. She showed up naked. That's not even close. She's wearing saran wrap. It's a see-through burka. It's completely see-through, not even like
Starting point is 00:09:12 translucent. It's just you can see her bush. You could basically finger her. You can suck at her tit. You can reach out and suck at her tit. You can get to it, there's no cloth in between your face and her tit. And he's just wearing black and sunglasses and moving her around. It's very creepy at this point. Now, my point is, is it good? Is it bad? Is Trump's policies good? Is it bad?
Starting point is 00:09:37 Are the tariffs good or are they bad? I don't know, but it's fun. That's what I'll say. I know it's fun. That's what I'll say. I know it's fun. I know this is fun. Is it good or is it bad? For his kids, it's bad. For his ex-wife, she's probably going,
Starting point is 00:09:54 ah, my kids, it's bad. For women, is it good or it's bad? I don't know. Is this feminist or is it not? I don't know. Is it objectifying women or is it just showing off the beauty of the female form and celebrating estrogen and the womb? I don't know, but I know that it's fun.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Okay. Taylor Swift is showing up with a T to the Grammys on her leg. Okay. She's hot. Beyonce's winning for best country album. I didn't know she put out a country album. J-Lo looks 20. I don't know how that's possible. I don't know how that's possible, but maybe it has something to do with
Starting point is 00:10:37 taking a Puerto Rican out of their natural habitat, and they just, you know, maybe it's the oxygen of the Lower East Side that ages them. I don't know, but it's fun. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I know it's fun. And Lady Gaga showed up as Marilyn Manson to the Grammys to just talk about trans kids. I don't know, it's fun.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Who's that? Is that the ghost of Cyndi Lauper? It's somebody named Chappelle Roan, and she's dressed in a Victorian outfit. So we just have no center of gravity at this point. There's no rules. Here's a bald chick with witch nails. Her name is Cynthia Irie. Cynthia what? Cynthia Arevo. So she's got no hair. She's got the same haircut as Brony James. Shakira still looks 20. Again, so do you have to take a Latin out of their natural habitat?
Starting point is 00:11:33 I don't know for them not to age, but she has an age. Miley Cyrus talks like a guy, looks like a chick, still hot. And who's that? Gloria? Gloria? Girlie? Glorilla? Glorilla. Glorilla. So what I'm learning from what I'm looking at
Starting point is 00:11:58 is that I'm finally old. Cause I don't know who she is, I don't know who Victoria Monat is, but I know I like what I see And this chick is dressed as a drunk Dei hire American Airlines pilot who got so drunk the night before she forgot her shirt and what's her name? Joel Janelle Monet, I don't know who she is. And there is classy Alisa Keys.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Is she still doing the no makeup thing? Yup. I see some lipstick. See a little bit going on. That didn't really catch on with the feminists. And there is what used to be, scroll down, used to be the identifiable Cardi B who now looks like Marilyn Monroe.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I would, she's got a new face. That is not the face she started with. So people are just getting new faces at JFL. Mandy Moore, another chick who looks like this, who look, they all look like the same chick now because of plastic surgery. They're all Kardashians. There's like a hundreds of Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:13:04 So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why Kanye was invited to the Grammys, but apparently he was. But what we do know is the music industry just has different rules. Okay? Chris Brown, he's on the red carpet. Kanye West on the red carpet. You can do whatever you need to do in the music industry and you will be fine. Music industry plays by a different set of rules and you just you're uncancellable He's also got a new album coming out and here's the thing. I bet you it's gonna be fantastic. I Bet you he's gonna it's gonna be he's gonna like sample
Starting point is 00:13:36 Hitler speeches to a crazy beat and it's gonna be catchy. That's the problem That's what we got to stay away from is Kanye producing and sampling Nazi themes and Nazi speeches because he's gonna make them hot and that's what I'm worried about because he just makes everything good in Music his music is just very good So, I don't know. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I know it's fun. That's all I know What's going on with USAID? I? but I know it's fun. That's all I know. What's going on with USAID? I didn't know USAID existed. I think most of the people didn't know USAID existed. I think most of the people didn't know that US taxpayer dollars funded it. I think some
Starting point is 00:14:14 people are finding out about it. I think a lot of employees are going to be gone from USAID or already gone from USAID. I know it had 10,000 employees. That seems like a lot. That seems like a lot for an agency that's just lending out money. It seems like you can have four guys doing that. For an agency no one knew existed. Yeah. Well, so what is USAID?
Starting point is 00:14:43 Okay. For an agency no one knew existed. Yeah, well, so what is USAID? Okay, so USAID was founded by John F. Kennedy as an executive order in the 60s, whatever it was, sometime in the 60s, and then it was... 1961. 1961, and then in 1998 what happened? It was ratified as a, it was codified by Congress as an independent agency, right? So they're an independent agency That gets taxpayer money and basically doles it out To other countries or whatever it does and so doge has set its targets on USAID.
Starting point is 00:15:26 They wanna shut it down. And by Doge, let's be honest, it's Elon Musk. It's Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Batman and Robin. And you, who's Batman and who's Robin, I don't know. I don't know. But Trump would say he's Batman and Elon Musk is Robin. And I think Elon Musk would say Donald Trump is
Starting point is 00:15:46 Batman and he's Robin with a wink That's what I think he'd do he go. No, no totally totally Totally he's Batman. I'm Robin and then he would wink and then he'd do this But Elon Musk is in there and Donald Trump says it's run by lunatics and they're saying there's a bunch of like DEI funding in there and other stuff and people are worried that this is unconstitutional. I don't know if it is or if it's not or if it's good or it's bad but I know that it's fun. I know the guy definitely came in with an agenda and that agenda is taking form. Things are changing very rapidly. Marco Rubio says that he's in charge of DOJ but it seems like it's really
Starting point is 00:16:37 Elon Musk who's in there. So they've executed a 90 day freeze on most foreign aid to give Trump's administration time to review the USAID's $30 billion budget for 2025. So one of the tickets, one of the things that will not no longer receive US funding is a pro-LGTB group in Serbia through a group called Gruppa is Daji, which in English translates to group come out. So there's an agenda here. So there was an agenda before to help these people, and now there's an agenda going, we don't want to spend money on that so I don't know sorry I'm thirsty things like that is what they're looking
Starting point is 00:17:37 they're really going after um seems like they're going after the gays a little bit, no? DEI in general. DEI in general, the gays. I'm convinced that Elon Musk's, you know, his Batman story is his kid turning trans. And that turned him into either Batman or Robin, depending on how you look like on it. That's his superhero. Every superhero or villain has an origin story and I think his origin story is when his son went trans. That's what I think. That you know like when Batman was parents were murdered in front of him or the Joker or whatever his father beat his mother and and then cut cut his face into a smile why so serious? I think that, so, and depending on how you view it,
Starting point is 00:18:26 good or bad, he's either a villain or a superhero. So I don't know. 1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces, 70,000 for a production of DEI's musical in Ireland, 47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, 32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru. So okay, so those are some of the things they came up with. Taxpayers are finding that out and they're going, maybe we don't want to spend on that,
Starting point is 00:18:59 maybe we do. But we didn't know it was being spent on that, so maybe it's helpful that we know that it was being spent on that because it is our tax dollars. I don't. 47 grand, 32 grand for a transgender comic book in Peru. So that's an expensive comic book. That's an expensive comic book. I don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this crap said hammering said leviot who's only 27
Starting point is 00:19:31 years old and I know the American people don't want either and that's exactly what Elon Musk has been tasked by Trump to do to get the fraud waste and abuse of the federal government. Depending on how you feel about comic books in Peru trans comic books in Peru and if comic books in Peru, and if it's worth that much money, you're going to have an opinion on this. I'm not here to have an opinion on it. I'm just here to say it's fun to know that we're paying for that. That's fun. should we we should get a credit in the as a producer at least and maybe some
Starting point is 00:20:07 points on the profits but there this seems like they're finding an agenda from America to help those disenfranchised groups or to fund them in countries that may be not so nice to them that's one way you could look at it or another way you can look at it is it's just a waste of money for national interests or whatever. I don't know. Or you could say, hey it's making the world a more tolerant place. I don't know. These things are opinions and I guess the American people voted in a person that said he was going to do these things because the majority of Americans or the majority represented by an electoral college want this to change. So that's what's going on.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Change. There's some change happening. So we are going to find out what USAID is spending all their money on and Democrats want to stop it and are saying it's unconstitutional. And it is a threat to national security and America's influence in the world to shut it down. And Trump's just, I think Trump is saying he wants to get it shut down or Elon Musk is saying he wants it shut down Donald Trump is saying he's tasked with finding out what's going on I don't think he's actually said he wants anything shut down and he keeps saying like he can only do what I say he can do he's not he's saying that there's gonna be an ego problem between these two.
Starting point is 00:21:45 It's gonna happen at some point. Nothing grows under big trees or orange glue on hairs. Orange glue on toupees. Nothing grows under those. So there's gonna be a problem. But no, both of them, no, Elon Musk, yeah, I'm right. Oh, he said that Trump has agreed, but he said Trump has agreed and then Trump said he can't do anything without me saying.
Starting point is 00:22:15 So why does it matter? The US is indeed the largest provider of humanitarian aid and USAID does administer billions of dollars in humanitarian aid development and security assistance to more than a hundred countries. They spend less than 1% of its budget on foreign assistance, a smaller share overall than some other countries. But we have so much money, I guess that accounts for the largest. So it is a federal agency but it is independent right.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So we're going to find out what's being spent on there. I guess that's it. You're just going to find out where the money is going because we don't know. It's an independent agency so they don't have to report to Congress right. We don't know. It's an independent agency, so they don't have to report to Congress, right? We don't know. We don't have the answers. We're not smart about it. But I think that's the whole...
Starting point is 00:23:12 It would be nice if there was a list somewhere. It would be nice if there was a list for all taxes and we voted on that. We could see where everything's going. That would be very nice. But then also that would be kind of... I don't know, can you get that stuff done through referendums? Sometimes you just need people to make the decisions for you. Maybe, but it'd be nice to see at least.
Starting point is 00:23:31 At least to see. Yeah, and I wanna read that comic book. Yeah, I definitely wanna get my hands on that comic book. It's like, you remember when in Pulp Fiction, when Samuel Jackson says, "'Do you mind if I have a little bit of your shake?' "'Cause I gotta,' No, when John Trap Fiction, when Samuel Jackson says, do you mind if I have a little bit of your shake? Because I gotta, no, when John Travolta says, can I get a sip of that shake?
Starting point is 00:23:51 I gotta know what a $10 shake tastes like. And then he takes a sip and he goes, it's a pretty good fucking shake. So I just wanna read the comic book and be like, all right, that was a pretty damn good trans comic book. It was worth every bit of that thirty seven thousand or seventy two thousand, whatever it was in aid. So USAID may be going bye bye,
Starting point is 00:24:13 but we're definitely going to find out what their funding. I think one of the biggest benefit fact these. Is that what it is? Sure. Yeah. Benefact these and effect these is is obviously Ukraine, but I don't know if it's for Ukraine Trans comic books. I think it's for whatever else in Ukraine But we're sending a lot of money more than 16 billion through USA. It has been given to Ukraine through USAID has been given to Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And in 2023, they distributed 72 billion. I will say, if we took one year, just one year, and took 72 billion and put it towards infrastructure in the United States for one year, if we just, if 72 billion in a year, if we just took 72 billion American taxpayer dollars, our own money, and we said, hey, we're just gonna give you guys a haircut for one year, and we just took that money
Starting point is 00:25:10 and we put it into American infrastructure, could the whole country look great? Maybe. I mean, how much money would it take to fix Poughkeepsie? That's a sinkhole. That's a lot of money. I mean, 72 billion, if we just took, like if we took one year and took 300 billion.
Starting point is 00:25:27 That would be nice. And just put it into Flint's water, just one year. Troy, New York. Yep. You know? A lot of places. Or if we just held up Disney World and we said, you're going to donate, you're going to donate one week of your profits to America to kick back to these people
Starting point is 00:25:47 who are going into debt to take their kids to Disneyland. What could we do? We could do a lot. I mean, if this place was spotless, I'm all for giving some money away, but we need a little cleaning up around here. Yeah, or we could just let Disneyland run the world. Not a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:26:05 They make it keep it clean. If anything goes wrong you go underground and it doesn't happen. That's right. Yeah they make it like it doesn't happen. Just Disney-fy all of America. Just Disney-fy the whole America and let them run and we all just eat like frozen chicken nuggets. We're already doing it anyway. But everything's underground. That's what I love about Disney is any problems, they just shoot you right underground and out. Like it. Off the property.
Starting point is 00:26:30 That'd be good. Yeah, so if like, boom, they just throw you into Guantanamo Bay, which is, unfortunately, if you don't have any pictures, you're taking a trip to Cuba. Did I say pictures? If you don't have any papers. Papers.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Yeah, you're taking a trip to Cuba. We're not allowed to go to Cuba, but if you have no papers taking a trip to Cuba. We're not allowed to go to Cuba. But if you have no papers, you go to Cuba. And I somehow Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba, and they're back on our terror list. But somehow we still have Guantanamo Bay as a military base. There's some agreement. I don't still don't understand how that's possible. But you know, friends and foes, I don't get it. International friends and foes works very strangely. You know, China is our foe, but we collaborate with them on gain of function research and economic stuff. I don't know
Starting point is 00:27:10 what's going on. But it seems like there seems to be a shift happening in where people in power think that the COVID virus originated from? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Here's the fishy part, and then you make your decision. The fishy part is they haven't been able to locate an animal of origin, which with all the other pandemics, they were able to locate an animal of origin very quickly. With this one, they still haven't. It originated in Wuhan, where there happens to be a coronavirus lab that was jointly funded by China in the United States on gain of function research.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And they happen to be working on a bat gain of function by coronavirus that would bat of they took a bat virus that would originate bats and they were working on gain of function research on that virus in case, you know, there would be a vaccine for it or whatever the gain of function research purpose is. And in 2019, three scientists at the Wuhan lab fell ill with COVID-like symptoms.
Starting point is 00:28:43 So all it would take was one of them to not be showing any symptoms yet but be contagious and take a walk and that's it. That's all it would take. So that's what we know. So it almost definitely came from the lab. The house panel concludes that the pandemic came from a lab leak. So we don't have any smoking gun, according to a lot of people. But if you speak to anyone with a fucking brain, you would say that the three scientists who got sick in 2019 with COVID like symptoms while they were working on a fucking COVID virus is a fucking smoking gun.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And that it originated in Wuhan where that lab is, is a fucking smoking gun. And that they haven't found an animal of origin yet, and they have for all the other pandemics very quickly, is a fucking smoking gun. But apparently that's not enough for some fucking lefties. Let's be honest. I don't know why this is a cross party lines.
Starting point is 00:29:45 It shouldn't be. It really shouldn't be. I don't think it's a conspiracy at this point. I think it's common sense. It's like trying to tell your wife, honey, the restaurant's on the left. When you see the sign for the restaurant. The CIA now believes the virus responsible for the COVID is most likely originated from
Starting point is 00:30:07 a laboratory. So it's like, duh. Is this going to be called the duh government investigation? Now the only question then becomes, was it leaked intentionally or wasn't an accident? That we can't answer. I think it's most likely an accident? That we can't answer. I think it's most likely an accident. But we will find out shortly after an increased 10% hike in tariffs. Because look, Trump slapped some tariffs on China, right? Back then, back in 2020, China no like. China could say, you know what, we're gonna bring the whole world to its knees and we're gonna reshuffle the financial
Starting point is 00:30:48 Financial power Paradigm we're gonna get at the top because we're gonna bring the rest of the world to its knees If that was the case, it no work that didn't work And we get Trump out because they're thinking, oh, people are gonna be mad, the economy, so maybe that'll get, it's a far-fetched conspiracy in my opinion. I think the lab leak is more likely. But like I said, he just increased,
Starting point is 00:31:14 so Biden kept the tariffs, so it didn't work. Biden did not undo Trump's tariffs on China when he was in office, he kept them. So it no work, no matter which way you slice it on that conspiracy. Maybe you can say they were banking on him on doing them, but it didn't. So, but we will find out over the next couple of years, because if another one comes down the pike and it originates from Tang Songtu or wherever there is another or or Wuhan then we'll have our answer because Trump
Starting point is 00:31:47 just did an additional 10% on the 25% right on China and China's striking back so we are right now engaged in a tariff war with friends and foes and mixed friend foes like China, whatever you want to call it, I don't know. But it's exciting. Markets are reacting and there's a lot of capitalists who are probably unhappy about this, right? Say again?
Starting point is 00:32:22 If you're Walmart, you're not happy about the tariffs. No, right, you're not happy, right? If you're the NBA, you're not happy about the tariffs. You're not happy, right? If you're the NBA, you're not happy about the tariffs. You know, it depends. It depends. But this is hurting pockets. If you're looking for cheap plastic shit, you're not happy. If you're a Midwestern mom who's got a short hair cut and neck fat, and you're in a scooter, and it's Christmas time,
Starting point is 00:32:44 and you think there's still and it's Christmas time and you think there's still a little space left on your shelves and on your fake tree branches from your tree from 2017 that you reuse from China and you want some more ornaments. It's not good. If you're a regular shopper at the dollar store, you're not happy. If you like getting your kids more toys than they should have, you're not happy. You're not happy about this. Or I should say your wallet's not happy about this because I think a lot of people in theory love what he's doing, right? His supporters love what he's doing, but this is gonna hurt a lot of people in theory love what he's doing, right? His supporters love
Starting point is 00:33:26 what he's doing, but this is gonna hurt a lot of people's pockets. So China has retaliated, of course, and announced 10 to 15 percent tariffs on US coal, liquefied natural gas, crude oil, pickup trucks, and other products shortly to take effect right now after the U.S. tariffs, additional tariffs took effect. So if you're a gas company, you're not happy. If you make trucks, you're not happy. So he's making some enemies maybe amongst his own base? Maybe. Maybe. We got a lot of energy and oil here. I don't know if that's going to hurt. So there he's making some enemies maybe amongst his own base?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Maybe, maybe we got a lot of energy and oil here. I don't know if that's going to hurt. It's just like a little, Hey, you push us, we'll push you back. Yeah. But how about the people who make money off those exports? They can't be happy with their, with the loss of money. No, nobody's happy losing money, but this does, this isn't like hard hit. 10%. We'll see. We'll see where it goes. You know, this is like a little, a little slap box fight right now. Right. China's not happy. I'm sure they don't like it.
Starting point is 00:34:35 They're saying the unilateral tariff hike by the U S side seriously violates WTO rules, does nothing to solve its own problems, and undermines normal China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation. That's what some guy in China's cabinet said. So they're upset. They're upset. In addition, Beijing announced an investigation
Starting point is 00:35:01 into Google for antitrust violations, and export controls on items related to something and other rare earth elements that are critical components of high-tech products. It's a reshuffling that's gonna happen. Supposedly Taiwan is saying, hey, we're gonna let a lot of these companies migrate to the United States
Starting point is 00:35:23 to avoid these tariffs or something, because Taiwan's linked in with China in some way. I don't know how the two country, one country shit works, but this is shake up. Right now we're in this stage, right? With a full bottle of seltzer. And at some point we're gonna get to the point where we open the cap.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And either it's gonna be flat, like, or it's gonna explode. And let's see. It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. Yeah, that was your magic eight ball right there. It's gonna be fine. But we are definitely in the shake the bottle.
Starting point is 00:35:59 We're in the shake the bottle phase right now. We're really shaking the bottle. And that's all you can say about that, is we're in the shake the bottle time I was very surprised to learn that there was a school shooting in Sweden another mass shooting in Sweden that killed I think ten people. It makes you think, like, they have very strict gun control. It does make you think a little bit, calling like, okay, obviously this isn't just a gun issue, right? If it's happening in these places that have strict gun control measures with no contiguous states that have contrary laws,
Starting point is 00:36:50 right? So you can always make the argument, and I think it's a good one, that Chicago's illegal guns come from Indiana and it's easy to take guns across the lines and the cartel gets its guns from the United States because it's so you can make all those arguments And they'll they're very valid and they're very interesting and they were worth listening to But then you have this example where there are no contiguous Swedish states that have lax gun laws and illegal guns running all over the place and gun shows and all this shit It's pretty much only bordered by what Norway or whatever the fuck in Russia It's pretty much only bordered by what? Norway or whatever the fuck, and Russia.
Starting point is 00:37:27 So first of all, how did it happen? How did the guy get the gun? That's what we need to find out. Police, okay, the shooting was at a school for adults. So if you're going to school and you're an adult, things aren't going great. So this is just insult to injury. You're there to go back and get your degree basically at DeVry and you're going can you shoot? We're already down our luck. I'm not trying to
Starting point is 00:37:58 make light but I just did. It's unfortunate. My job sometimes hard. I apologize. I know people lost people. Shooting... It's primarily for people who did not finish primary or secondary education. Jesus Christ. Whoever shot was a real asshole. That was a real asshole. All right, teachers have described, right, okay. So who did it? 15 students.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Yeah, so they don't know yet. They just don't know. This just happened. Oh, this is video. I don't want to see the video. It's the same video. It's people running and you hear guns probably gun your gunshots There's ten people dead they've confirmed the police have confirmed that here we go
Starting point is 00:39:00 He killed himself the guy that did it Which always is for me, like, you know, the good guy with a gun, bad guy with a gun, that argument, because these guys usually kill them, so it's usually suicide missions, so it doesn't matter, because the bad guy with the gun always has the advantage, right? So that's always a vote for gun control, because you're going like, you don't want maniacs to be able to get guns, because no matter how many good guys with a gun he's still gonna pluck a bunch off because he's there to die and he's the guy starts shooting for us so it's very difficult complicated issue but it does show that is a multifaceted issue right because these shootings are a modern phenomenon and guns have been around for a long time
Starting point is 00:39:48 So maybe it has something to do with just you can't get away with Crimes anymore. So these guys just go on these suicide missions to get their urges out in that way because they can't like DNA's these maybe just can't be a serial killer anymore. Maybe all these people would be serial killers and this is the new type I I don't know But it's a person unknown to police and they're not saying anything else Can't say anything about the weapon. It was obviously an automatic weapon from able to get killed that many people And that's all they know at this point So we don't have any more information about,
Starting point is 00:40:25 but I'm very curious to know who it was. And- Oh, they know more. They're just not releasing it. They're not releasing it yet. Not releasing it yet. But if you listen to the video, you can hear someone yell either a White Power
Starting point is 00:40:41 or Ali Akbar. I mean, it's gonna be one of the two, right? Flip a coin, right? I mean usually is you know I'm just saying based on data And also you're gonna white powers up there too. They do it. I mean there was just a neo-nazi Group that was arrested because they foiled a They had a plot to attack the power grid in Maryland and it was a neo-Nazi group. So it's just so funny how similar these groups are,
Starting point is 00:41:11 but they hate each other. They're on the opposite side of what they hate, but they end up doing, the radicals are all the same. It's just the cause that's different, but the anatomy is the same. I mean, what are the chances it's not that? Slim, slim to none. Slim to none. I mean, could be a lunatic, you know.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You got three options. Yeah. An incel, right? Like the guy in California was the producer's son. Right. Or or the Virginia Tech. Those guys were the same like these girls, these girls are fucking scum. Sandy Hook kid.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Sandy Hook kid Sandy Hook in It's usually a guy who just if you're not getting your noodle wet you're upset Right, so it's either an incel who can't get laid which is why we need to make prostitution legal We really do so these kids can just touch women It's either an incel or some type of radical is what I'll say. Usually there's two types by the numbers and they either yell one thing or the other. One of the one of the one of the chants is ironic at least because you're saying I think it translates to God is great, right?
Starting point is 00:42:24 So that's ironic you know God is great while you're sinning and the other one is white power it's really gonna be one of the two right it's really gonna be one of the two yeah it's like or if you hear it you'll say it was some massage cell who somehow made it happen. Right? Yeah, that's always that train. It'll get train will get trains never late. That trades always on time.
Starting point is 00:42:57 If you want to get on that time, you better be punctual because it never shows up late. It could be there. So the world is a happy shiny place right now in Disney World. Here's the problem. Outside of the gates of Disney World, we let the problem show. Inside of the gates of Disney World, they hide the problems. Maybe we need to just start hiding the problems from the people by not talking about it so much. Right? And in the funnest news, Joe Biden has signed a deal with CAA at 81 years old. For what? What's the, I mean, why do these presidents sign deals? Well, it's because they're about to make a lot of money.
